Description
The April 2005 issue of CityLand highlights major zoning and land use developments across New York City. Key coverage includes the City Council’s approval of a 249-block downzoning in Bay Ridge to curb overdevelopment, and the Planning Commission’s approval of the Greenpoint-Williamsburg rezoning with incentives for affordable housing. The issue also reports on the creation of a new R2A zoning district to combat “McMansion” development in Bayside, Queens. Landmark actions include hearings on Morris Lapidus-designed buildings, designation of the Germania Bank Building, and controversy surrounding the proposed designation of the James L. Bedell House in Staten Island. Legal updates feature court decisions on urban renewal in Bushwick and a dispute over certificate of occupancy issuance in Staten Island. Pipeline charts provide updates on ULURP certifications, BSA applications, and landmark hearings.
